SBS is about to start production on an innovative new lifestyle program
and is looking for people with backyard/life issues. If you could do
with a little friendly advice and are happy to be filmed for the show,
please read the categories below and get in touch.
Pimp My Plants
Do you have a problem spot lurking in the corner of your backyard? A place where dirt itself struggles to survive? Where plants turn up their toes as their roots hit the soil? Send us two pictures of the offending area and, in 25 words or less, describe what you have tried.
Ask a Yia Yia
Our Yia Yia is a feisty old Ninja Nanna to be reckoned with - the font of all homespun, age-old knowledge and mystical know how. And now she is ready to answer your questions.
Whether you want to master the perfect Halloumi salad or learn how to get stubborn stains out of your favourite apron, she's got all the answers.
To gain from Yia Yia's infinite wisdom, please email a short question (Yia Yia doesn't like to waste time) – and get prepared for a lively response!
Are You Floating Away?
Does your house/backyard sometimes resemble a swimming pool? Do you have rising damp, have you or any of your family suffered any ailments as a result of pooling water in or around your house?
Then standby, because we could be sending in a lifesaver...
If this sounds like your house or backyard, then in 50 words or less, please describe your water woes and send in 3 supporting photos.
A Caring Community
Is your school or community group particularly green? Do you have outstanding water management techniques? Maybe you have a very nice community garden that is the envy of all those around?
We would like to hear from you. In 100 words or less please describe your community garden, and what makes it so special. Please send in 3 supporting photos.
How to contact us
All you have to do to be a part of the show is send in your written overview and images to: lifestyleideas@freehandtv.com.au
To make it easier for us to find your story, please put the story category that you are applying for in the subject bar of your email.
Then stand by, because you never know…we could be telling your story on SBS!
